A continuous data set is where you can plot every point (even very, very small decimal numbers) because the unit can be measured in parts of the whole.
A discrete data set is where you can only plot the units in whole values. For example, if you were plotting the number of people, you can't have a part of a person.
Weight is measured in lbs which can be measured in parts of the lb (such as 100.005 lbs) so it is continuous.
Answer: Continuous data set

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Message if you want a detailed explanation.
Usually, you CAN'T turn a fraction into a whole number.
You can ONLY do it when the top number is a multiple
of the bottom number. Otherwise, it's not possible.
IF the top number is a multiple of the bottom number,
then take the bottom number, and divide both the top
and the bottom of the fraction by it. Then the top number
will be the whole number that's equal to the original fraction.
Examples:
12 / 5 . 12 is not a multiple of 5 , so there is
NO whole number that's equal to 12/5 .
5 / 12 . Same thing. 5 is not a multiple of 12 .
12 / 3 . 12 is a multiple of 3 .
Divide top and bottom by 3 .
Then you have 4 / 1 .
4 is the same as 12/3 .
